Title: 2013 UK Crown Acquisitions
Post by: Kena on December 14, 2013, 02:06:01 AM

The Royal Mint has been running an advent calendar on their Facebook page.

I picked up the following for really good price via one of this week's offers:

Royal Christening 2013 UK 5 Pound Brilliant Uncirculated Coin

The 1953 and 2013 Coronation Crown Two-Coin Set

No pictures of mine are available since I am leaving them in the mint packaging.

Nice pickup Ken.  I love the British coin series, but I just don't love the cost the Royal Mint charges for them.

I have been known to shop the Australian Royal Mint and the New Zealand Mint for products though.

Even the Royal Mint have problems keeping coins in pristine condition judging by the looks of the 1953 Crown.  ::)

Would the Royal Mint have bought these coins back from circulation?

Those two new coins are really nice though. :)

Yes, the 1953 coin is not uncirculated but I am happy with the purchase because of advent offer was very good.
